I will talk to them about what could happen if they decide to steal anything else from the store or a person. I would let them know if you get caught one day and they notify me to come get them I will suggest that the police to hold them in juvenile for a night are two to teach them a lesson. They will need to learn from the decision and the mistakes that they make and what will happen if they decide to steal or take anything from anyone.
